Chapter 383 The Conversation Between Father and Son

"If you want her to come see you, just say so. Why bother with dinner?" Qin Mo genuinely cared about him, but her sharp tongue was equally biting. "We're both adults, very busy."

Grandpa Qin ground his back molars.

I really want to beat this kid up.

"Grandpa is sick and is bored, so he wanted you to come and see him." Qin Mo took his phone and relayed the message accurately, "It's okay if you're busy, you can come whenever you have time."

"Weren't you perfectly fine before?" Jiang Ruan asked. "What illness did you have? How serious is it?"

"It's not very serious. I've had IV drips for two days and I'm much better." Qin Mo didn't explain why.

Jiang Ruan unconsciously showed a hint of worry between her brows.

Grandpa Qin snatched the phone, not wanting Jiang Ruan to be in a difficult position: "I just didn't pay attention to the weather change and caught a slight cold. It's nothing serious. You go ahead and do your thing, it's fine."

"I'll come over a little later tomorrow afternoon." Jiang Ruan thought that he did care about her. "After you finish the IV drip, make sure you keep warm and don't catch a cold."

Grandpa Qin was instantly delighted: "Good, good, good."

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.

Because they weren't very familiar with each other, she didn't know what to say to show her concern.

She prefers to do things rather than talk about them.

As soon as the call ended, Old Master Qin's smile vanished, and he looked at Qin Mo sitting next to him with displeasure: "Who told you to be so talkative?"

Qin Mo: "You."

Old Master Qin retorted, "When did I ever ask you to speak out of turn?"

“You saw it in every look I gave you,” Qin Mo said without hesitation, “I know you’re embarrassed to admit it, but you’re welcome.”

Old Master Qin: "..."

Old Master Qin got angry.

Qin Mo's dark eyes fell on him, and she said, "The doctor said you can't get angry easily. Don't forget how you got sick this time."

Old Master Qin has become obedient.

He hadn't expected his body to be so fragile.

She can't handle even a little bit of anger.

"Why didn't you tell Jiang Ruan the truth?" Qin Mo asked.

"Mind your own business." Old Master Qin would argue with him as usual. "Instead of worrying about these things, why don't you find a granddaughter-in-law for me to see? You're almost thirty and still single. Sometimes I even wonder if you like men."

Qin Mo: "..."

Old Master Qin looked at him suspiciously: "Tell me honestly, do you not like women?"

Qin Mo didn't even want to talk to him: "Just focus on your IV drip."

“Over the years, you’ve either been with this old man like me, or with Chi Yuan and Xie Yi.” The more Old Master Qin thought about it, the more likely it seemed. “You can’t possibly like me.”

Qin Mo consciously refrained from speaking again.

Grandpa Qin then asked, "Between Chi Yuan and Xie Yi, which one do you think is better?"

Qin Mo: "If you're really that bored, I'll bring Jiang Ruan over right now and tell her the real reason you're angry, so she can have a good chat with you."

"I'm only thinking about your future." Old Master Qin said, his voice tinged with sadness. "You know what kind of people your parents are. If I die one day, there will be no one to help you."

Qin Mo was taken aback.

This was an angle he had never considered.

"You will live as long as the heavens."

"It's fine to say such things normally." Old Master Qin's gaze fell on him. "While I'm still here and can make decisions, you should hurry up and bring a granddaughter-in-law back."

"We'll see," Qin Mo said calmly.

He can only take her if she wants to go home with him.

He has already reached a high position and become a wealthy man. He has everything: status, money, and power.

But she never contacted him.

Grandpa Qin noticed the change in his expression and his intuition told him there was something gossipy about it: "Do you have a girl you like?"

"You've lost enough, I'm going back to the company to get back to work." Qin Mo stood up, clearly not wanting to talk to him any further about this matter. "I'll pick up Jiang Ruan after lunch tomorrow."

Old Master Qin got upset: "Can't you spend a little more time chatting with this old man?"

Qin Mo: "I'll call Jiang Ye back for you."

Grandpa Qin: "Forget it then. That kid is buzzing around like a fly, so annoying."

"Grandpa, I don't like hearing you say that." Qin Jiangye's nonchalant voice suddenly appeared, still carrying the same roguish air as before. "If I'm a fly, what are you?"

Qin Mo: "..."

Old Master Qin: "..."

"You don't want to see me so much, are you afraid I'll urge you to find me a grandmother, just like you urge your brother to find a sister-in-law?" Qin Jiangye sat down next to him, his gentle tone easily making people happy.

Old Master Qin cursed at him.

Qin Jiangye continued to tease.

Seeing that the father and son were having a good chat, Qin Mo didn't plan to interfere any further. Before leaving, he told Qin Jiangye, "Watch Grandpa finish losing."

Qin Jiangye looked up: "Aren't you coming along?"

Qin Mo: "No, I have something to do."

Qin Jiangye: "Looking for your sister-in-law?"

Qin Mo: "..."

Qin Mo glanced at him with a cold gaze: "Have you been too idle lately?"

"I'm not free." Qin Jiangye rested his chin on one hand, tilting his head to one side. "I'm busy carrying out the tasks that Grandpa gave me."

Qin Mo: "?"

Task?

Before he could ask, Qin Jiangye gave the answer with a slight smile: "An S-level mission to find you a partner."

Qin Mo really left this time, without any intention of staying to say another word to them.

Every time I talk to the old man, he either tells me to find a partner or to go on blind dates.

Nothing new.

"When did I ask you to find him a partner?" Old Master Qin glared at him, feigning anger. "You're just using me as a shield."

"Don't rush me about my brother's marriage." Qin Jiangye picked up an apple from the side and peeled it, his movements a little clumsy. "Either he'll bring you a granddaughter-in-law soon, or he'll never have a chance in this lifetime."

Old Master Qin perked up: "Something interesting?"

Qin Jiangye kept everyone in suspense: "It cannot be said."

Old Master Qin raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead: "Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me."

"How would I know?" Qin Jiangye continued peeling the apple, speaking casually and naturally. "I only heard that you have someone in your heart, and that you have been abstinent and celibate all these years because of her."

Old Master Qin frowned.

How could he not know that Qin Mo had someone else in his heart?

This kid has been with him most of the time since he was five years old. Could it be something that happened before he was five?

What does a five-year-old know?

"Who told you that?" Old Master Qin asked.

Qin Jiangye smiled seriously: "Myself."

Old Master Qin: "?"

Qin Jiangye grinned and said, "I knew you loved listening to stories, so I made them up on purpose."

Old Master Qin gave him a disapproving look.

That kid.

Still so shameless.

"Have an apple. Your grandson peeled it especially for you." Qin Jiangye handed over the ugly apple he had peeled.

Old Master Qin snorted coldly: "The meat's all gone, and you're giving me the pit?"

Qin Jiangye made excuses for himself: "Isn't it because I haven't practiced my skills enough?"

Old Master Qin snorted, but still took the bag from him and took a bite.

Qin Jiangye smiled.

Qin Muchuan, who was watching from the shadows, noticed that the old man's IV drip was almost finished and his eyes darkened.
